VRFocus-Back in November 2014 the BBC took its first foray into virtual reality (VR) apps to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the beginning of the first World War. The result was War of Words VR from digital design and direction agency BDH, which was produced in conjunction with a number of other BBC shows. Focusing on the poetry of World War One, the app was made for viewing on an Android smartphone with the likes of a Google Cardboard smartphone-based head-mounted display (HMD). Now, over a month on, the app has finally arrived on the iOS operating system (OS) too.
VRFocus - Today marks the 96th anniversary of the end of the First World War, with traditional remembrance events currently taking place across the globe including Remembrance Day in the UK. This year, as part of its proceedings, the BBC has teamed up with digital design and direction agency BDH to produce a unique virtual reality (VR) smartphone app named War of Words VR, which is compatible with smartphone-based head-mounted displays (HMD) such as Google Cardboard and the Durovis Dive.
